Here is something a little different! We are now looking for a small house, condo, or even an apartment to move into while we find property and build our ranch. We will be leaving the Southern California area in three years so we have time. However, that’s still three years, so we want to find a little place we’ll be happy in for that amount of time. We have about 30 days to find a place and move our lives into it. I’ve started to look at ideas on how to make this transition easier. One of my plans is to get moved in and get that place decorated for Christmas ASAP! But I also really want to bring in our colors and style so we feel at home as soon as possible. I really think we’re going to need that.

So, here are a few ideas I found on Pinterest. I’m really starting to get excited about it. I do love to decorate!

I really think it’s important to bring your own style with you! Moving to a smaller space allows us to have a more “dense” level of decor.

This is a great idea for more storage. That will be a huge must after leaving a large house and moving into a smaller space. http://www.bhg.com/decorating/small-spaces/apartments/apartment-storage/?sssdmh=dm17.743212&esrc=nwdi062014

I love this idea of changing the hardware in a rental. Easy to replace when you leave and it really makes a nice upgrade in the meant time. This is a hint from The Everygirl blog.

What a great reminder that just adding great color, towels, and shower curtains can really add to a rental bathroom!

I’m not a big plant person because I tend to kill them. After buying some for our house this month, I’ve realized I may actually be able to keep them alive after all! Excited about bringing them into a smaller space. I love them and they make a big difference.
